you can always use 'unique':
breaks <- unique(breaks)
or just make sure when you are defining your break sequence that they
are not overlapping as they were in your original data at 100. That
is why in my example I was using:
>> seq1 = seq(0, 95, by = 5) # prevents overlap at 100
>> seq2 = seq(100, 1000, by = 100)
>> Bands = c(seq1, seq2)

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
